Moscow -- Russia's main film festival Kinotavr kicks off June 6 in the Black Sea resort of Sochi with the premiere of "Moscow, I Love You," a collection of short films about the Russian capital, shot by established local directors, including Yegor Konchalovski and Vera Storozheva.
The 21st edition of the festival is being staged amid financial problems and a sharp decline in local film production in the wake of a global economic downturn.
The festival's co-owner Igor Tolstunov and the headline sponsor mobile phone operator Vimpelcom pulled out six weeks ago, forcing the remaining owner Alexander Rodnyansky to personally cover most of the cost.
During last year's festival the selection committee admitted that it would no longer have that many films to choose from -- which has already had an impact on this year's festival lineup with the majority of movies chosen for the official competition made by first-time or little-known feature directors.

KARLOVY VARY, Czech Republic -- Russian director Vera Storozheva's romantic drama Travels With Domestic Animals (Puteshesviye s domashnimi zhivotnym) collected the main Golden George prize at the Moscow International Film Festival.
Storozheva told the jury chairman, Australian director Fred Schepisi, and guests at the closing gala in Moscow's downtown Pushkin film theater that the prize was "unexpected and much wished for." Hers was one of three Russian films in the feature competition lineup of 19 international movies.
"We were waiting and hoping and watching how the audience and press reacted," she told journalists Saturday night during the closing-night ceremony.
The best director prize went to Giuseppe Tornatore for The Unknown Woman (La Sconoscuita), a thriller about the exploitation of a young Ukrainian woman alone in a provincial Italian city.
The main winner in the Perspectives competition section -- reserved for features by young directors who have already made their debuts -- went to Latvian director Juris Poskus for Monotony (Monotonija). The film centers on a young woman whose dreams of becoming an actress are crushed after she fails an audition.
